HELP!!!!! any ideas of causes of soar throat for 5 months?
Every morning i have a soar throat for about an hour.. no its not caused by laying down or snoring.. because if i stay up late i have it and if i take naps i dont get it when i wake up.. this has been going on for almost 5 months now. and so far about 3 times ive waken up and it hasent gone away and lasts for about 2-3 days.. its not severe or anything and i would descrobe it as kinda a burning irritated feeling. i also can have a very deep cough at times and my tonsils can get to be a bright red color at times.. no fever so not strep. any ideas of cause?
The person who answered post-nasal drip is most likely right. That is a symptom that is usually caused by allergies, if there is no cold or flu. I would suggest asking a doctor to see if you have environmental allergies. I have lots of allergies, and when they aren’t under control, I sometimes have a sore throat when I wake up in the mornings.
